1. If the passage uses ‘he/she’ for animals, in the answer, should I follow the the passage and use ‘he/she’ even though we should use ‘it’ for animals?
2. If the question asks me to define a word, what is the grammatically correct way to format the answer?
Question 1: For example, from dictionary, define ‘happy’. This is not grammatical, particularly "from dictionary".
Question 2: In line 2, what does the word ‘happy’ means mean?
3. Should the answer always follow the same tense as the question or the tense the passage is written in?
Welcome to the forum. 
Please note my corrections and comments above. Once you have responded to teechar's question in post #2, you will get more responses.
Remember - if you don't use correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing, anything you write will be incorrect.
